 This guy made me laugh. Great when you're this involved in getting the perfect shot!

Taken at 28mm.

Subtle editing:
Reduced blue channel's luminosity while boosting its saturation. Slight negative gamma curve. Slight crop from 3:2 to custom aspect ratio. Slight sharpen. Resize.

As I'm looking at this I'm thinking the rock is only a few feet off the ground, so it's not wow'ing me in that sense. The shot itself however is pretty cool, I like his blue top against the blue sky on top of the white rock, it all works nicely together.

Interesting take. Funny but the whites overexposed like that works in this pic
